The book is from '05 so I don't know. I will say I'd have never made with cardboard and scissors. I'd have no patience to deal with the inevitable mistakes I'd make. I would then be forced to take up underwater basketweaving. :lol: :lol:

I DID do underwater basketweaving one day. I was planning on making baskets for everybody for Christmas. It took me 8 hours to make a 4 inch basket. I don't love anyone enough to endure that again!

quiltluvr, I thought you were teasing (inferring you and the basket would go underwater like a deep sea diver). :P :P . Should I hang up my hat for the night?

I new about 4 patches - 9 patches other than my mother showing my how to peice a 9 patch, at age 9. I watch Simply Quilts. Online How to Quilt "Penny's" No books No magazine That is a pretty pic, Then I quilt. Oh I do have to show you some of my ufo. I'll start next week. Theresse

I have a book on over 250 blocks and in their directions each piece is cut out individually and sewn back together. For some patterns that's all well and good, but tell me why would I want to individually piece a 9 patch together instead of sewing strips then cutting??

Then you have us folk who save every scrap! LOL I piece lots of 9 patches and 4 patches one square at a time from my scrap bins!

Me too. I prefer doing it that way. I am not crazy about sewing strips together.
